Ahhhhh, OMG, this is too funny! And "they" say we're crazy????? Carrie, are you out there????

Well, a dog lover friend of mine who has heard about the now famous Frito Feet thread, called me last night to tell me THIS.......

Has anyone seen the TV show Will and Grace? Well, it's really a cute show. My friend told me that last week the episode was about Will, I think, doggie-sitting his friend's St. Bernard, and lost him! Frantic to find the pup, he made a "missing" poster that went SOMETHING like this, and included the following identifying characteristics

Lost, St. Bernard, appx. 125 lbs., friendly and gentle, answers to the name Max. If kissed on his stomach, strong odor of corn chips can be detected!!

OK, corn chips, not Fritos; stomach, not feet. (Maybe they thought "feet smelling" was too gross for the audience!! ) But....Well, need I say more

Rachelle did bring me a bag of Fritos - it took me three days to pluck up the courage to open them! I kept thinking, "If these smell like the dog and I put one in my mouth I'm losing my lunch!!"

I finally opened them...and ate them. I must admit that they were totally yummy - thanks Rach!

OK, OK ....and....they did smell a bit like the parts of the dog that are closer to the ground - BUT, and I must make this clear, I DID NOT smell his feet! I was just lying on the floor when he walked past me and I happened to be breathing in at the time.

So, although I agree with you all about the smell I DID NOT, NOT, smell Paddy's feet and remain sane enough to say I never will (Oh, I hope none of my family ever read this! They have been looking for a reason to disown me for years and this total madness would do it for them!).

After scrolling through this list, I had to try it out! Pup and Paula's feet DO SMELL LIKE FRITOS! Strangely, though, Boo and Buddy's feet smell like grass and dirt! Don;t you think their footsies would all smell alike when they live in the same house and all go outside at the same time?
P.S. My parents' cocker spaniel, Checkers, is over visiting, so I tested him too - his feet smell like what I would imagine wet, stale fritos would smell like !
Here's Checkers:

Like I said, Kylie's feet don't smell like Fritos but I do love it when she puts her soft little feet against my face or arm. They are soo soft and cute!!! When Shai trys it she only succeeds in smacking me upside the head!

<STRONG>I was sitting with a group of friends the other day, all of whom own dogs. My one friend and I started talking about how we love the smell of our dog's feet. Almost in unison, we laughed, "Oh, yeah! Frito feet! Our other friends all looked puzzled and said "What....????" They had NO idea what we were talking about! We said, "You know, that kind of corny, toasty, roasted smell, especailly on their front paws. Dont' you ever smell your dog's feet?" They thought it was gross and had no clue! My friend and I both said sometimes the smell is so strong we can smell their frito feet even when they're just lying next to you. "No, they said. That's gross. We don't kiss or smell their feet." How sad, I thought. Since I was a kid, I remember one of my fondest memories of my first dog was kissing and smelling her little paws as we slept in bed. My first whiff of frito feet. I understand it is a result of their licking their paws; the smell a result of the dried saliva. Anyone else know what I am talking about? By the way, in my family, the same smell on kitty paws is called "popcorn tootsies!"</STRONG>
